Mining

Planning the mines of the future today.

We understand that funding is what drives this industry. Funding comes from the project value, and to maximize project value, miners of all sizes – juniors to established players – need a company like BESTECH to help them tell their story and to tell it objectively and effectively.

We start with an open mind, build on your data, and do what’s suitable for your project. Every project is treated as a unique project, with unique requirements and a unique process to mine. We promote simpler designs that are faster to build, more economical to build and operate, and easier to fund.

Our Process

01
Exploration Phase

Our unique and proprietary step change process leverages the power of innovation.

BESTECH challenges the conventional approach to mine design. Our unique and proprietary step change process leverages innovation to ensure success. This phase is critical to get right because of significant stakeholder engagement. With decades of experience, we will outline the best opportunities for your project.

BESTECH Benefits Delivered:

  • Front End Loading (FEL) Studies: assess the physical and financial viability of the mining project
  • Prefeasibility Studies: study options, supported by key information, to assess if further investigation is warranted
  • Feasibility Studies: estimate important factors of the operation to consider when evaluating whether to greenlight the project

02
Development Phase

BESTECH helps you identify the best option to most effectively mine the ore body.

BESTECH gives you the benefits of the latest technology and expertise available and can be your partner in developing a digitized road map to lead you to mining success. BESTECH helps you identify the best option to mine the ore body most effectively. BESTECH executes the development-related elements of the Whole Mine concept to take advantage of best practices in development and engineering and how they fit in the overall life cycle of the mine.

BESTECH Benefits Delivered:

  • Multidisciplinary Design: Development of drawings and engineering calculations
  • Multidisciplinary Engineering: Assessments and approvals for engineering drawings
  • Detailed Study Engineering: Explore different options for successful mine operations
  • Real-time knowledge to take advantage of the power of Industry 4.0, with cloud platforms, wireless communications, and other advancements, providing a digitized road map to applying technology towards maximizing output
  • Step change process to maximize mechanization, taking advantage of the latest in technology and equipment, with remote control rooms and fewer people in the operations

03
Construction Phase

BESTECH represents the ideal partner to help you address all phases of engineering.

BESTECH executes the construction-related elements of the Whole Mine™ concept to take advantage of best practices in construction management and how they fit in the overall life cycle of the mine. BESTECH conducts the design and construction detail process, along with formal sign-off, all under one roof, allowing you the elasticity and adaptability to handle whatever events arise during the construction phase.

BESTECH Benefits Delivered:

  • Mechanical design and construction management
  • Electrical infrastructure design and construction management; Power your site with clean, green energy and reduce energy usage
  • Automation design and construction management
  • Environment management system design

04
Operations Phase

BESTECH is recognized for its exceptional expertise in extending the productive life of existing mines.

BESTECH has established the processes and methods for continuing cost-effective ore extraction long after most mines would have given up because costs per tonne have exceeded market rates for the ore.

BESTECH Benefits Delivered:

  • Mine Life Extension: extending the useful, productive life of mine projects
  • Dewatering: removing water from the mine
  • HyLoENVIRO™: Real-time environmental monitoring system for controlling emissions from operations
  • Ventilation: ensuring safety for miners by providing clean air deep below the system, with energy savings over traditional methods thanks to ventilation on demand (VOD) technology
  • Material Handling: moving goods across the mine site through a variety of methods, from traditional means to autonomous delivery of supplies

05
Closure Phase

BESTECH will assist you with the closure and reclamation process to minimize the environmental impact of the mine.

We are committed to helping companies become environmental stewards by achieving compliance, mitigating risks and protecting the planet through environmentally responsible operations.

BESTECH Benefits Delivered:

  • Mine Life Extension: extending the useful, productive life of mine projects
  • Dewatering: removing water from the mine
